4.1.12
Nyāya Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.1.12
न, घटाद् घटनिष्पत्तेः
na, ghaṭād ghaṭaniṣpatteḥ
The line
Not because of ghaṭa (घट), of ghaṭaniṣpatta (घटनिष्पत्त).
Where it sits
In Nyāya (न्याय) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. Examines action, fault, rebirth, fruit, pain, and release, and then the whole and the part. The line is short. vyaktād (व्यक्ताद्) from 4.1.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + ghaṭād (घटाद्) + ghaṭaniṣpatteḥ (घटनिष्पत्तेः)
